Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone withdrawal remedies

suboxone

Hey, I am on suboxone at the moment and I was told that the withdrawals wouldn't be that bad. I think that your drugs worker should have came up with a plan that you were happy with. I have arranged it so that I'm on the same dose until I feel that I can do a rapid detox. Are the pains really that bad? Can you tell me how you are feeling?

ive known people to go through suboxone withdraws for over a month its a slow process you have ween your self down slow and easy or it could put you in the hospital

While the people here are able to provide remedies to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and provide encouragement during detox - none of us are doctors and cannot establish a taper plan for anyone. As you have seen, this forum is a reflection of personal opinion I am surprised to see that you have been a member since 2007 considering that you said questions are not answered here and you ...

See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep and Klonopin which will be helpful for sleeplessness and anxiety. It will make your withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter. The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months.

I remember one member, look up dhodge2000 and read his posts and his experience with suboxone. He was a strong and adamant advocate of suboxone (while on it) at first and criticized everyone for giving sub a bad name, even became rude to others who have never been on sub but warned people against it.

since i'm new to this, just wondering how many of you are using suboxone? and if so, how do you feel about. and for those who are not, why? and what are your thoughts on it? i've been on them since april and i LOVE them. I had NO withdrawals what so ever. Anyways, gotta go get the little ones down for nap .. be back in a bit .. peace!

On day 6 of suboxone withdrawal. Did my research and got Clonidine, St. John's Wart, Same 400mg, Passionflower, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B 6, Immodium. I am able to function but I cant stop the "crawling out of my skin condition". Try to laugh, pray, exercise, sauna, eat 3 meals, I don't know how much longer I can take it. "Suck it up" is starting to lose its meaning with time. Been on subs for more than a few years. Lost count. I have an appointment coming up.

In December, I will have been on suboxone for a year. Meanwhile, I'm reading horror stories about suboxone withdrawal. Do you think I will have an easy time during wds? I haven't had any major problems while tapering other than feeling tired. I simply find it hard to believe that it is going to be easy!!!

I was told some suboxone wd's could start over in the second week of recovery. I was prescribed Suboxone for several years. It has been a couple of month's since taking the last one. Maybe I have gotten rid of some of the sub that was in my system.

i know the only reason i am feeling ok now is cuase im on suboxone. i just fear the withdrawals after i stop taking it. so i am learning how to taper off sub. hopefully i can avoid the w/d's.

This is an old forum, so I posted a question which starts a new forum. The title is suboxone withdrawal, hopefully to see you there. I was asked to do so by another member. They said more ppl can help there and give more specific information.

at what mg do you plan to jump?

And I'm about to the point of just quit taking the subs, I know all about the withdraws but I'm to the point that I'm thinking a few days/weeks of pain will be worth a lifetime of sobriety, but is there anything I can do to minimize the withdraws,home remedies? Thanks for your help!!

Ive been taking 2 mg of a suboxone strip every 3-4 days , I have extender restless legs that keep me from getting any rest/sleep. Ido not want to swap hydrocodone for subs so what's the correct way to taper SHORT TERM... Please help I know the longer I take sub the longer it's gonna take to get off!!!!

I have has to withdraw from suboxone a couple of times in the last 2 years. Tapering down on suboxone doesn't really give you the same effect similar to tapering down of oxycontin per se. It is such a strong opiate that it gives relatively the same effect in lower doses. If you are at 8mgs a day, you could easily be down to 2 mgs in about two weeks if you setup a good taper schedule. Just know that when you go completely off, it's just as bad withdrawing from any other opiate unfortunately.

How long do suboxone withdrawals last? I only took it for about 2 weeks-I started w/ 1 8mg strip a day & then gradually decreased the amount over the last 2 weeks; however, I have used opiates regularly over the last 8 years. Prior to taking the suboxone I was taking 12-16 Norcos a day. Today is the first day without anything & I wanna crawl outta my skin!

” I withdrew from tramadol a few years back and was fine after 23-25 days. I have heard that Suboxone is so strong that the withdrawal period lasts a lot longer, but no doctor I have seen seems to know anything about this potent drug. Any information about the Suboxone withdrawal process would be greatly appreciated as this has already gone on a lot longer than I or my doctor expected. Thank you so much!

Been a suboxone for 5 or so yrs, 2mg for the last few years. But due to changes with my Dr. about ten days ago start lowering my dose. Im alittle below 1mg but have had a real bad time with depression.Have been taking a 250mg Milk thistle twice daily with food, a One A Day mens Vitamin, 2 Omega 3 540mg,and 450mg Saw Palmetto twice and all with food. The depression has been getting worse and the lack of sleep.

My fiance and I stopped taking suboxone on Oct.7...the emotional and mental aspect of the withdrawals were worse than we could have imagined and we have detoxed from methadone and almost every imaginable opiate (OC, opana, morphine, dilaudid, etc.). Although we have suffered far worse physical withdrawals, coming off suboxone (less than 2 mg. daily at most and then we tapered to crumbs) was far more difficult than we anticipated...

Do some more research, I have found some interesting posts on here and other sites that talk about long term Suboxone usage resulting in bad withdrawal. The consensus is the shorter you are on it the better. But some folks need it to stay off the bad stuff, and that is the right choice for them. Suboxone definetly has it's advantages to keep you away from abusing, so you and your doctor have to decide what is best for you.

As far as I know, the medications perscribed by a doctor to help with withdrawals are methadone or suboxone, they are a synthetic opiate and are supposed to block the pleasure receptors the real opiates give you making you not want any. Which, from what I hear, these are real ***** to get off of as well. Some say it is just trading one addiction for another.

never have those 2 drugs in your system together or you will go into severe and intense withdrawals. Although I would not recommend this, you might actually get past the sub withdrawals easier by riding it out with this 20mg methadone you took. Again, that is not a good idea but perhaps it will help.

my mistake. You go through withdrawal with Methadone too..and it's still unpleasant.. Suboxone..also you have to deal with withdrawal. replacement drugs aren't usually meant to help you taper fast...i mean you might as well just taper with your drug of choice, what's the difference..Methadone incidentally is supposed to suck more..not as acute but withdrawal lasts longer. replacement drugs..are meant for a 6 month to 2 year taper..gives you time to get your life in order..

just will not tell you (unlike Suboxone) that will help me get through the withdrawal side effects of taking 200mg/day or more of Oxycontin for over a year now? Trust me I have tried alot including Suboxone and tapering, nothing really works. Even rehab, made it through but then right back on after a month.

We were taking up to six 10mg tabs a day. We found a friend that started using suboxone for wd. So we started doing that and it helped enormously. I felt i was getting dependent on that. we tappered down to just 1/4 a day for 8 days. we now have been clean going on our 3rd day today. I have a positve outlook on quiting bc of the possibility of pregnancy, but im not sure what remedies I can do bc of it.
